Univex Refrigerator - Freezer manual Preparation

PREPARATION

Clearances Refrigerator Location

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections:

Do install it on a floor strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

Sides	3 mm
Top	25 mm
(If built-in, allow 22 mm for hinge covers.)
Back	13 mm

If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow 19 mm for door clearance.

When You Go on Vacation

For extended vacations or absences, shut off the power to the refrigerator, move the freezer control to the “ ” position, and clean the interior with a baking soda solution of 15 ml of baking soda to one liter of water. Wipe dry. To prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator. Leave doors open.

Move icemaker feeler arm to (up) position, which stops icemaking, and be sure to shut off water supply to the refrigerator.

For shorter vacations, remove perishable foods and leave controls at regular settings. However, if room temperature is expected to drop below 16°C, follow the same instructions as for extended vacations.

When You Move

Disconnect power cord from wall outlet, remove all food, and clean and dry the interior.

Secure all loose items such as grille, shelves and storage pans by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

Be sure refrigerator stays in upright position during actual moving and in van. Refrigerator must be secured in van to prevent movement. Protect outside of refrigerator with blanket.

Rollers

Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. These rollers should be set so that the refrigerator rests firmly on the floor. Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially

designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened, allowing the force of gravity to help close them securely.

Leveling

To adjust rollers, remove the base grille by grasping it at the bottom and pulling it out.

Turn front roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use an adjustable wrench (3/8″ hex head bolt) or pliers.

Turn the rear roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use a flat blade screwdriver.

NOTE: When leveling, you can improve door closure by raising the front as much as 15 mm more than the rear of the refrigerator.

To replace base grille, align prongs on back of grille with clamps in cabinet and push forward until grille snaps into place.

Water Supply to Icemaker (on some models)

If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if you plan to add an icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be connected to a cold drinking (potable) water line.

A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There should be sufficient tubing from the cold water supply to the icemaker inlet to allow moving the refrigerator out from the wall several feet (approximately 2.5 m of 1/4″ copper tubing in three 25 cm diameter coils).

Do not use kits with plastic tubing since there is water pressure in the supply line at all times.

Maximum permissible inlet water pressure—8.3 bars.

Minimum permissible inlet water pressure—1.4 bars.

Installation of icemaker must be made by a qualified service technician.
